Is Pico 8 included with uconsole? I only see tic-80 on the start menu. ---

TIC-80 is open source and available for free. [Pico-8](https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php) was developed by Lexaloffle and is closed-source commercial software, but there is a Raspberry Pi OS binary available from their online store. It should run on the uConsole but wasn’t included. ---

Ok just ordered a Sainsmart Genmitsu 4040 pro CNC router, another use for the uconsole, no fan or moving parts perfect to run a CNC… no dust problems 🙂 ---

I tried to run dosbian and combian, but no luck. Looks like internal display is not recognized. ---

I’ve got a Pocket Chip that I’ve used for years. Though the keyboard is pretty much unusable at this point. So, the uConsole will be a much nicer replacement. I do a lot of remote admin tasks and I’m never home. Being able to pull a pocket computer out and fix a problem quickly is wonderful. ---

I would like to try and use it mainly as a phone. Also maybe for game dev for bits and pieces of coding (mainly C). Also saw that you can use it as a radio of some sort, and maybe also use it to try and get some satellite data would be cool. ---

Another user note - if you are trying to use a Logitech unifying receiver - it may have issues with USB C port … but the 3-port USB adapter board (3rd party) ports work with a USB-C to usb cable to work fine with a Logitech k400+ keyboard/mouse travel keyboard… you’ll want to install Solaar to manage… [Previous page](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/what-do-you-want-to-do-with-your-uconsole/9229.md?page=11) [Next page](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/what-do-you-want-to-do-with-your-uconsole/9229.md?page=13)
